{"playerId":5152,"percentChange":14.7,"averageDraftPosition":223.3,"percentOwned":29,"playerRaterSEASON":0.8,"mostRecentNews":{"news":"Zunino, who is hitting .345 (10 for 29) with three doubles and three homers this spring, said he feels \"night and day\" better at the plate after slumping to below Mendoza Line last season, the Seattle Times reports.","spin":"Zunino is working to improve his pitch recognition, hitting to right field and hitting with two strikes. Importantly, he has seven strikeouts in 31 PA. \"If he can put the ball in play instead of striking out, if he can strike out maybe 50 times less, we are probably going to have more positive things,\" manager Lloyd McClendon said. \"His batting average is going to come up, and he's going to drive in more runs.\" Zunino struck out 158 times last year at a 33.2-percent clip.","date":"Tue Mar 24"},"fullName":"Mike Zunino","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Mariners made Zunino their primary catcher last season, and while his defense graded out favorably thanks to his underrated ability as a pitch-framer, his bat showed no real sign of progress. Zunino struggled to make contact consistently and fanned in 33.2 percent of his plate appearances, and the 22 home runs and 60 RBI he racked up were offset by a .199/.254/.404 line. The second-half splits don't reveal any signs of improved plate discipline, which raises questions as to what his ceiling might be as a big-league hitter. For a right-handed bat, it's certainly impressive that he clubbed 10 of his 22 long balls at pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, which suggests that 20- to 25-homer power can be expected. The third overall pick in the 2012 draft, Zunino was promoted through the Mariners' system aggressively, which offers at least a glimmer of hope for a more refined approach as he begins his age-24 campaign.","seasonId":2015,"date":"Tue Feb 10"},"positionRank":20}
